Dreams of being bankrupt symbolize that you are at the end of an unworkable, fear based pattern. Perhaps this dream is showing you that it is time to cultivate healthier patterns of manifestation and abundance.

Psychological / emotional perspective: Formerly, going bankrupt carried a great deal of stigma. Such a dream, therefore, highlighted our fears and doubts about our own abilities. In today’s climate where there is less disgrace, dreaming of bankruptcy simply indicates a problem that needs to be dealt with – not necessarily a financial one.

Greek god Zeus and the Roman god Jupiter are one and the same. Zeus is the god of gods. He is the creator of day, thunder and lightning, the seasons and is the “sky god.” Zeus holds supreme power and his decisions are not questioned as he is the father of gods and men. He represents external order and authority. His wisdom, power and sense of fairness supports the structure of the ancient Greek and Roman universe. Jupiter, or Zeus, is a “good father” that provides the opportunity for growth, development, prosperity and health. Jupiter, as a planet, has a central position among the other planets in the solar system. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are on one side and Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto on the other. Astrologically, Jupiter represents balance, organization, abundance and optimism.

If you are down on your luck or a bit disorganized, this dream may be calling for awareness of supportive internal and external forces. Our dreams often compensate for what is lacking in daily life. In this way, dreams attempt to balance the psyche. Thus, dreaming of Jupiter is reassuring and invites the dreamer to access the power in his own psyche and to embrace a positive attitude. Jupiter is a reminder that there is an order to the universe that provides us with an opportunity to have a prosperous, balanced and joyful life.

General Meaning: The image that you intentionally present to the world. • Positive: As a woman, dreaming of wearing beautiful make-up speaks of reflecting the beauty on the outside that you already have on the inside. • Make-up is also clearly a feminine thing and if you are not one to wear makeup and dream that you are, the Lord is trying to tell you that it is time to let out some of your femininity. • If you dream that you are wearing make-up that you do not usually wear, then the Lord is saying that it is time to change the way that you present yourself to the world.

Negative:

Stripped • If you dream that your make-up has been removed, it means that you have lost your self-confidence and have given up trying to present yourself correctly. • It means that you, as a woman are feeling stripped and bare. • As a Man • If you are a man and dream you are putting on make-up then clearly the Lord is saying that you are trying to be something that you are not! That your representation of yourself is too feminine. • It could also be a warning dream to say that you have rejected your masculinity and that it is time to embrace it again. • Fussing Over Make-up • If you dream that you keep trying to apply your make-up correctly but that you cannot this is also negative.

If you are getting stressed in the dream and • running out of time, the Lord is telling you that you are too worried with externals. • He is saying that you are making too much of a fuss with what people see on the outside and about ‘getting things right’ than simply shining out from the beauty within.

If you dream of you, or someone else, opening and looking through a makeup bag, it is a lucky omen foretelling the opening of new doors in your life. Other dreams about a makeup bag, including buying a new one, symbolize basic good luck in your near future.

Old dream interpretation books say the porcupine in your dreams is a omen of good news and bad news. Good things may happen to you, but they will carry difficulties with them. From a more pragmatic point of view, porcupines are cute but untouchable animals. As a dream symbol it may represent a situation or a person in your life that fits that description.

Traditionally, dreaming of a porcupine is a omen of good news and bad news. Good things may happen to you, but they will carry with them difficulties. As a dream symbol, porcupines may represent a situation or a person in your life that is attractive, but unapproachable.

Withdrawing because you are too sensitive and too easily injured, while at the same time being “prickly” and ready for some cunning attack. According to early Christian understanding (the most widely read book of the Middle Ages, Physiologus), the porcupine is lovable and loves children. It kills Snakes.

Symbol: The porcupine is a symbol of miserliness and food cravings; also—because of its quills—it represents wrath.

Vision: The porcupine serves as a warning: don’t be so naive. It could also mean that you either planned to do a good deed for another person and were rebuffed, or you have painted yourself into a corner. Killing a porcupine: you got rid of a “prickly” person. Watching a porcupine catch a mouse: a very materialistic or sting)’ person is taking advantage of you. Getting pricked by a quill: someone is trying to ruin your reputation or harm vou.

Depth Psychology: The porcupine reflects your need for safety and security. It could also indicate actual mistrust on your part, which could influence your relationships. Have you “painted yourself into a corner”? Are you “being prickly”?

To dream of a porcupine points to a need to defend and protect yourself from emotional or psychological harm. Alternatively, it indicates possibility of a situation which requires openness on your part. This also suggests the present of someone in your life who shields his/her vulnerability.

Dreams of a porcupine represent your egoic defense mechanisms kicking in to protect the aspects of you that feel the most vulnerable, weak or fragile. Your dream may be giving you the message that just because your relationship feels prickly, it doesn’t mean it is time to walk away. This may be an opportune time for growth, transformation and healing of all your sharp edges.

Numb, childish, dependent, insensitive (a child projecting its psyche on the puppet). It is important to look at how these symbols are connected. They may point to a rediscovery of childlike emotions, or to the necessity to say good-bye to them.

If you are the puppet, you see yourself as without a soul, as only a pretty plaything.

Until the late Middle Ages, the puppet was considered a defense against evil ghosts or as possessing magical powers. Such beliefs are still mirrored in the practice of having mascots.

Depth Psychology: Puppets usually represent dependence—on other people, substances, sex, etc. Sometimes they indicate the negative influences and control that you feel others have over you. Do you feel like a marionette? Are you known to pull “strings” to manipulate others? In either case, you need to make some changes! See Thread.

This symbol addresses your nervous system, where the wires of the puppet are your nerves. Often you cannot see the puppeteer directly, but he is the one who is “pulling your strings,” symbolizing the power that is hidden behind the curtains. This symbol questions how you could “better” coordinate your intellectual resources and nervous system. What is pulling you? And where?

To dream of a puppy represents your liveliness and happy-go-lucky personality. It also represents an improving friendship, or friendships that will grow deeper and stronger.

A dream involving the sight of a litter of newborn puppies signals the amount of time it took you to develop an idea, or the duration it might take to see your plan come to pass. Pay attention to the number of puppies in your dream, as that will provide a close estimation of the amount of time it might take to finish your project or anticipated event.

To dream that you are taking care of some puppies shows your integrity and loyalty to your friends despite tough circumstances.

There is no special meaning attached to the sight of four-footed animals in your dream— it all depends upon the animal. But unusual creatures are not considered fortunate omens. Thus a Horse is far better than a Giraffe.

When a thing is quadrupled it is made four times as large or four times as important as previously. In spiritual terms this suggests that there is four times the amount of power available – it is power ‘squared’.

Psychological / emotional perspective: The symbolic meaning of number four deals with stability and invokes the ability of all things to be grounded, so anything that is quadrupled is linked to the proper manifestation in the physical realm. Things must manifest through the four elements of fire, air, water and earth to become real.

Material aspects: As we become more aware, the ancient symbolisms become more relevant. Anything which is represented as being quadrupled in size or power picks up on the symbolism of numbers. Fours represent solidity, calmness and home in the sense of sanctuary. On a mundane level, this means we may need to consider our need for security. Consult the entries for elements and numbers.

Sopped bread with meat and broth or soup in a dream represent man’s livelihood.

The amount of food one eats from a bowl of’soup represents the portion oflife one has spent, andthe balance in the bowl represents what is left.

Whatever you have cooked up you must and should be allowed to eat. This is a reference to consequences. What we have “cooked up” is composed of what we have created through our actions, influenced by emotions.

To dream that you are a superhero indicates that you are gifted and possess wisdom that may be above that of others. You are finally discovering these gifts and should be proud to display them to others.

A male superhero represents a super intellect; thus to dream of seeing Superman, Batman, Spiderman, or whoever indicates that your mind is particularly sharp right now, and if there is a project you’re working on that requires a quick, agile, and insightful intellect, this is the time to concentrate primarily on it. Female superheroes such as Wonder Woman or Supergirl indicate a heightened supportive mind - and thus the dreamer’s intuition is operating at a very high level. Therefore at this time the dreamer should definitely believe in his or her hunches and go with them - no matter what the intellect tells you.

If the dreamer encounters both male and female superheroes, then both faculties of his mind are especially sharp right now. Use your intellect, but when in doubt, follow your heart.

If the superhero or heroine is flying, or performing a rescue, then your mental and/or intuitive faculties will save you from an uncomfortable situation.

Comic book characters and those from science fiction and Westerns are modern symbols for the Hero. They often, however, also express immature masculinity, delusions of grandeur, and being all-powerful in situations where they are surely powerless. This dream image is about the antiquated ideals and unfulfilled goals of the dreamer.

Shopping in a supermarket may express concerns about life’s staples, food, clothing, and shelter. It may also signify that there arc many choices in life that can help fulfill your desires. Food itself may represent that which nurtures and sustains.

A supermarket may also mdicatc shopping for a relationship or discovering your position in society, or it may represent the delivery of the fruits of your labor.

(Imploring; Invocations) In a dream, supplications represent worship, a special prayer, or asking for a specific need. Invocations in a dream mean that one’s needs are satisfied.

If one’s supplications are done under dire need, or if they involve strong emotions, sobbing or grief in the dream, then they represent trying moments in one’s life, or they could mean temptations. Loud or solemn supplications in a dream may indicate a special prayer for rain.

If the supplications do not call for God’s favors, or if they are not directed toward Him in the dream, then they represent falsehood.

If the supplications are silent in the dream, they could mean that one will beget a blessed son.

If one sees a group of people gathering in a circle of prayers, or doing Zikr and invoking the divine attributes in a dream, then they represent a gathering of children, growth, blessings, or waiving away sufferings.

I was mostly dressed only in my short vest and usually floating upwards to escape adults who were clawing at my legs to pull me down’ (Miss GC).
